I’m Joanne Swadling, and if you found this, know it is not finished yet.
“There is strength in telling the story as it really happened.”
The health story behind my perspective
Health challenges can change the way we see our bodies, our plans and our sense of what’s possible. My health story explores those difficult moments, the turning points that helped me reassess what mattered and the lessons that stayed with me. It isn’t a story of having every answer; it’s about learning to listen to myself, make room for uncertainty and keep moving forward with care.
Building a business on my own terms
My business journey is another part of that growth. It has meant learning by doing, adapting when things changed and becoming clearer about the work I want to put into the world. Across this website, you can explore how those experiences connect, discover where my story has been shared in the media and get in touch to continue the conversation.
